Jiang Weidong's words made Luo Chao smile slightly. See, this is the style of a big family. From this perspective, Jiang Yuanyuan has indeed inherited part of Jiang Weidong's personality.

Luo Chao went to the company with Ah Yuan and asked him in the car, "Uncle Yuan, do you think I should prepare anything? Like a suit or something."

Thinking about the suit made Luo Chao's heartache. The last suit he got was trashed after just one wear, and now just the mention of a suit gives him PTSD.

Ah Yuan paused, shook his head, and said, "No need. The boss probably wants you to check something out. If it's convenient, deal with it, if not, it's no big deal. A suit isn't necessary. I'll take you to buy some casual clothes later."

Luo Chao felt relieved after hearing Ah Yuan's words. Just some sportswear or something would do, nothing for any formal occasion.

Ah Yuan took Luo Chao to a shopping mall owned by Jiang Weidong, to the men's clothing section, and let Luo Chao pick clothes for himself. Luo Chao chose two or three sets, just about to pay when the salesgirl said, "It's already been paid for."

Luo Chao looked up to see Ah Yuan waving at him, feeling delighted since he didn't have to pay himself—what a relief.

"It's time to pick up the young lady from school," Ah Yuan said after checking his wristwatch.

Luo Chao nodded, carrying the clothes as he left with Ah Yuan.

Five minutes past the school dismissal time, Jiang Yuanyuan and Chen Xiaoqi walked out hand in hand, backpacks slung over their shoulders. When they got in the car and saw Luo Chao, Jiang Yuanyuan snorted, prompting Luo Chao to scratch his nose, unsure of what had offended this young lady. He figured it was best to remain silent in such situations.

Chen Xiaoqi, on the other hand, was different. As soon as she got in the car, she said to Jiang Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, look, isn't he here?"

Jiang Yuanyuan glared at Chen Xiaoqi, signaling her not to speak nonsense, but Chen Xiaoqi pretended not to understand and turned to Luo Chao, asking, "Luo Chao, where have you been all day? Do you know..."

"Mmph mmph mmph..."

Chen Xiaoqi didn't get to finish before Jiang Yuanyuan covered her mouth. Chen Xiaoqi struggled in the back, but Jiang Yuanyuan refused to let go, whispering into her ear, "If you keep talking, I won't talk to you anymore!"

Chen Xiaoqi blinked, indicating she understood.

Luo Chao sat in the front, watching the scenery outside the car window, moving his ears slightly.

Jiang Yuanyuan let go of Chen Xiaoqi, who gasped for air and eventually said quietly, "Yuanyuan, why didn't you let me ask Luo Chao? Don't you want to know? If you care about him, don't be so awkward~"

Jiang Yuanyuan pinched Chen Xiaoqi lightly, muttering, "Who cares about him? I'm just afraid he'll cause some other mess that's hard to clean up. What's more, he's supposed to be a bodyguard, but he wasn't even around to follow me!"

Luo Chao heard the whispers between the two and sighed silently. This little girl is hard to please. At first, she wanted him to stay away, and now, not seeing him for a bit makes her look for him everywhere, earnestly expecting him to be right by her side...

The old man was right: a woman's heart is like a needle in the sea... You really can't guess a girl's thoughts...

Ah Yuan, having overheard Jiang Yuanyuan and Chen Xiaoqi, coughed to explain, "Luo Chao wasn't wandering around; the boss called him in for something."

Jiang Yuanyuan paused, then asked, "What was it? Couldn't it wait till we finished school?"

Ah Yuan was taken aback by Jiang Yuanyuan's question but replied, "The boss is preparing for a business trip, so he had to meet with Luo Chao at noon."

Jiang Yuanyuan stopped talking, having already gotten used to Jiang Weidong's unrestrained business trips throughout the year.

The car fell into an awkward silence, and Chen Xiaoqi, noticing Jiang Yuanyuan's foul mood, said, "Uncle Yuan, doesn't Uncle Jiang know it's Yuanyuan's birthday in a few days? Why is he choosing this time to travel?"

Ah Yuan paused. Of course he knew the young lady's birthday, but when a business reaches Jiang Weidong's level, it's like being in the underworld; it's out of one's control. Who would abandon a billion-dollar deal over a small birthday?

Ah Yuan didn't say anything, and neither did Jiang Yuanyuan. Luo Chao, however, was surprised to learn about Jiang Yuanyuan's upcoming birthday. This little girl kept it bottled up, never mentioning when her birthday was. Now that he knew, would she ask him for a birthday present?

Nowadays, rich people give watches or luxury cars, or even villas, as birthday gifts. He couldn't afford such extravagant gifts.

They returned to Jiang Yuanyuan's villa in silence, but Jiang Yuanyuan unusually asked, "Xiaoqi, are you free today?"

Chen Xiaoqi smiled, "When am I not free? What's up, Yuanyuan? Bored at home? How about we go out to play?"

Upon hearing they wanted to go out, Luo Chao felt uneasy. These two girls always stirred up trouble whenever they went out, and he was used to it.

"Hey, Luo Chao, go change your clothes, we're going out to play," Chen Xiaoqi commanded, frowning at Luo Chao, who stood to the side.

Luo Chao frowned slightly and was grateful that Uncle Yuan had taken him to buy a few sets of clothes. Otherwise, he'd be forced to leave wearing the clothes the old man made for him.

Once Luo Chao's door closed, Jiang Yuanyuan collapsed onto the sofa and said to Chen Xiaoqi, "I don't even find any joy in going out to play now. Is there anywhere fun to go? I'm sick of clubs and karaoke."

Chen Xiaoqi thought for a moment and replied, "There is, but it's not very safe. We'll have to disguise ourselves if we go."

Hearing there was somewhere fun, Jiang Yuanyuan's gloom vanished, and she perked up, asking, "Why do we need to disguise ourselves?"

"To avoid getting robbed! You definitely need to bring a lot of cash," Chen Xiaoqi pouted.

Ah Yuan, already nervously listening from the side, was shocked by the idea of excitement and disguise; now, they were talking cash...

Could they be planning to stage a robbery?

"Miss, I think if you want to play dress-up, you can do it at home. It's much safer," Ah Yuan suggested gently.

Chen Xiaoqi laughed at Ah Yuan, "Oh, Uncle Yuan, don't get the wrong idea. We're not playing house. I promise it won't be too dangerous. We'll just watch from afar."

"Then can I come with you?" Ah Yuan, still uneasy, asked.

Jiang Yuanyuan wasn't pleased, looking at Ah Yuan, "Uncle Yuan, I just want to have some fun. Don't be unreasonable. Besides, last time was just an accident. This time we won't show our faces. Who will know we went out?"
